A instalação do Mysql-server-5.1 deu errado

Question

Eu estava instalando o mysql-server-5.1 no ubuntu e a instalação foi interrompida. Isso causou um erro e agora não consigo remover o pacote nem reinstalá-lo.

Esta é a saída do console:

amatteo@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1

No começo era apenas mysql-server-5.1, mas agora ele mostra erros em todos os pacotes que eu instalei desde então.

Alguma idéia?

Obrigado em avançado.

Você precisará encontrar e matar o processo que está bloqueando /var/cache/debconf/config.dat antes de fazer qualquer outra coisa.

Você pode usar

lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

ou

fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

para descobrir qual processo está bloqueando esse arquivo e kill para matar esse processo.

Uma vez que você faz isso, você deve poder usar o apt-get para instalar o mysql-server, embora eu use o Synaptic para ver o status atual dos pacotes, no filtro se chama "Broken".
